Will Nikol Pashinyan come to the court? (video)
To invite the NA lawmaker Nikol Pashinyan to the court and interrogate. Today such a mediation has been presented to the court by the advocate of Ararat Khandoyan, who was detained along lines of Khorenatsi events, which followed the seizure of the police regiment. “The NA lawmaker Nikol Pashinyan was on the scene and his interrogation will clarify that the cordon of policemen instigated disorders. When the police were throwing stoned and other objects, Ararat Khandoyan was beside Nikol Pashinyan,” advocate Ara Gharagyozyan announced at the court. The advocate mediated to attach two videos connected with the incident to the case. One of the mediations of Ara Gharagyozyan related to interrogating Ashot Hakobyan as a witness, who was with Ararat Khandoyan, when the latter was being taken to the police station. “It will have significant influence on circumstances of this criminal case and revelation of truth.” According to the advocate, the evidence of Levon Hakobyan and Yervand Khachatryan, who are witnesses in the case, must be recognized impermissible. Notice from the court wasn’t sent to them and they were invited to the investigator via phone call. “The procedure of becoming a witness in an investigator’s room isn’t included in criminal procedure. Levon Hakobyan couldn’t be a witness into this criminal case, as he wasn’t aware of any actual data,” added the advocate. Prosecutor Hayk Petrosyan asked for time for presenting his full reasoning. The criminal court was postponed until April 27.
